So I can upload pics on poota now but I can't type as there's no space bar working. Those are the knives I make. The first lot are draw knives. The curved ones are the carving knives. There's a couple there of the sorts of spoons I carve. & also the big normal knife is the one I helped design for the bushcraft group. There numbered. Limited editions. I have number 002.

Also with Harry going to cost me a fortune to engineer I'm not going to finish it on the original chassis it's going onto a disco chassis. Not sure if I'm going to use my disco or buy another. I have my eye on another one cheap. Also that bloody game has come up for sale again at Hamilton not far from us.

Wondering if any of use have some pics of the baulkhead bolted on a defender. Does it go in front of the outrigger or behind where it bolts the the chassis. Got my measurements for the new outriggers. Have to use defender ones though. Can't realy make my own as they need to be spot on & there higher in that they have a bit that goes across the top of the chassis. Once there on its pretty simple from there with the others. Then I need to make up my mind wether to use the tray or use a rear body tub off a 109 & do the mods to make it fit the chassis or I could just extend the chassis realy if I wanted to.

What do use think.

Well today saw the end of my 4 week prac teaching. I had a great time and learnt a lot.
In the last week I had charge of the class so I decided to change the room around to suit my teaching style.
How the class room looked before.



The kids are currently reading Harry Potter and this week was book week, so I decided to transform the classroom into Hogwarts.
On the Monday I gave the students their acceptance letters which looked quite neat and got them very excited.

After that I sat them in the Great Hall and had each student come try on the Sorting Hat where they got sorted into their houses and I chose a responsible older student to be a prefect of each house.
How it looked after.




They are currently learning how to write procedures so in Harry Potter style I demonstrated a potion while they wrote down the steps taken.
Afterwards some kids came up and had a go too.

and our finished potion- Tonic of Growth.

Today we had parents come into the classroom and they all really liked it and many thanked me for being there and helping theirs kids progress with their learning and also for setting the class up like Hogwarts. A few of the parents said that their kids were coming back home and telling them all the new things that happened today at Hogwarts.
